Um..cases with "fathers in hiding" having thirtysomething kids from far more than 2 wives are not uncommon.
However you want to serve this as a comparison to monogamous marriages, it still comes down to two problems:
multiple partners (often more than 2 wives) in a culture of child bearing, make the amount of children rise exponentially. And if you want the state to help out in providing (as the mothers of the "fathers in hiding" do), then why shouldn't the state set out some rules for it, if they legalize the system? Providing for these children is a rather big issue in Utah.
